Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I apologise to the Chairman. I do not think anybody has properly engaged with this Bill. Members of the Houses of the Oireachtas are generally full time. However, this Bill asks that members of local authorities declare their salary levels. A teacher's salary level is usually available. If a member is working in private industry, must his or her salary be declared? If a member is running a business, must the profits of that business be declared? I am very concerned by what we are doing here.
